9 Chapter 2: Board Installation You are now ready to install your motherboard. How to install our products right the first time The first thing you should do is read this user s manual. It contains important information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when installing your motherboard: (1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic bag. Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, MiTAC recommends wearing a static safety wrist strap. (2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or flex the board in any way. (3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory modules, and leads. (4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that the board was shipped in. (5) Inspect the board for damage. The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables. Caution! 1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated components, do not use torque force greater than 7kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for motherboard installation. 2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged. 9

21 2.5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink The types of processors supported by the S5533 are listed in the section 1.2 Hardware Specification on page 5. Check our website at for the latest list of validated Intel processors for this specific motherboard. NOTE: MiTAC is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported configuration. Processor Installation (Socket H3 for Intel CPU) Follow the steps described later to install the processors and heat sinks. NOTE: Please save and replace the CPU protection cap when returning for service. 1. Open the socket lever. 2. Open the CPU socket cover. 21

22 3. Remove the CPU protection cap. 4. Install the processor and make sure the gold arrow is located in the right direction. 5. Close the CPU socket cover. 6. Close the socket lever. 22

23 Heat sink Installation After installing the processor, you will need to proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard. The processors will overheat within seconds, enter thermal protection, and shut down if heatsinks are not installed. For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel. Please refer to the Intel website: The following diagram illustrates how to install the heatsink on the Intel H3 Socket: 1. Apply the thermal grease. 2. Install the CPU heatsink. 23

24 3. Secure the heatsink screws. 4. Connect the heatsink fan cable. 24

25 2.6 Thermal Interface Material There are two types of thermal interface materials designed for use with the processors. The most common material comes as a small pad attached to the heat sink at the time of purchase. There should be a protective cover over the material. Take care not to touch this material. Simply remove the protective cover and place the heat sink on the processor. The second type of interface material is usually packaged separately. It is commonly referred to as thermal compound. Simply apply a thin layer on to the CPU lid (applying too much will actually reduce the cooling). NOTE: Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor to ensure that the thermal interface material is compatible with the processor and meets the manufacturer s warranty requirements. 25

26 2.7 Tips on Installing Motherboard in Chassis Before installing your motherboard, make sure your chassis has the necessary motherboard support studs installed. These studs are usually metal and are gold in color. Usually, the chassis manufacturer will pre-install the support studs. If you are unsure of stud placement, simply lay the motherboard inside the chassis and align the screw holes of the motherboard to the studs inside the case. If there are any studs missing, you will know right away since the motherboard will not be able to be securely installed. Note: Be especially careful to look for extra stand-offs. If there are any stand-offs present that are not aligned with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it will likely short components on the back of the motherboard when installed. This will cause malfunction and/or damage to your motherboard. 26

27 Some chassis include plastic studs instead of metal. Although the plastic studs are usable, MiTAC recommends using metal studs with screws that will fasten the motherboard more securely in place. Below is a chart detailing what the most common motherboard studs look like and how they should be installed. 27

28 2.8 Installing the Memory Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and processor. Check the TYAN Web site at for details of the type of memory recommended for your motherboard. The Intel Xeon E v3, i3 (22nm/Haswell) series processor supports 4 DIMM slots. This platform supports Unbuffered ECC DDR3, up to 16GB. DDR3 data transfer rates of 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s are supported. Both 1.5V and 1.35V DDR3 DIMMs are supported All installed memory will automatically be detected. No jumpers or settings need to be changed for memory detection. All memory must be of the same type and density. Registered, Unbuffered, and LRDIMM memory types can NOT be mixed and matched on the same motherboard. 28

29 Recommended Memory Population Table Quantity of memory installed Single CPU Installed 1 2 DIMM_A0 DIMM_B0 NOTE: 1. indicates a populated DIMM slot. 2. Use paired memory installation for max performance. 3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically - Use the same DIMM size - Use the same # of ranks per DIMM 4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs. 5. Un-buffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registerd DIMM if populating only a single DIMM per channel. 6. Always install with CPU0 Socket and DIMM_A0 Slot first, following the alphabetical order. 29

30 Memory Installation Procedure Follow these instructions to install memory modules into the S Press the locking levers in the direction shown in the following illustration. 2. Align the memory module with the socket. The memory module is keyed to fit only one way in the socket. 3. Seat the module firmly into the socket by gently pressing down until it sits flush with the socket. The locking levers pop up into place. 30

31 2.9 Attaching Drive Cables Attaching SATA Cables The following illustrates how to make a SATA Cable connection. If you are in need of SATA/SAS cables or power adapters please contact your local sales representative Installing Add-In Cards Before installing add-in cards, it s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, we ve provided the diagrams below, showing the slots that may appear on your motherboard. PCI-E Gen3 x16 slot Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card. TIP: It s a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner rather than making them directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices. NOTE: You must always unplug the power connector from the motherboard before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion device. 31

32 2.11 Connecting External Devices Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details. LAN1 LAN3 VGA USB3.0 LAN2 (BMC dedicated LAN) Onboard LAN LED Color Definition The three (3) onboard Ethernet ports have green and yellow LEDs to indicate LAN status.

34 2.13 Finishing Up Congratulations on making it this far! You have finished setting up the hardware aspect of your computer. Before closing up your chassis, make sure that all cables and wires are connected properly, especially SATA cables and most importantly, jumpers. You may have difficulty powering on your system if the motherboard jumpers are not set correctly. In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, you can find help by asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your vendor s support line. 34

35 Chapter 3: BIOS Setup 3.1 About the BIOS The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS settings that can be used to configure your system. The BIOS section of this manual is subject to change without notice and is provided for reference purposes only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time of print and are subject to change, and therefore may not match exactly what is displayed on screen. This section describes the BIOS setup program. The setup program lets you modify basic configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated, batterybacked memory (called NVRAM) that retains the information even when the power is turned off. To start the BIOS setup utility: 1. Turn on or reboot your system. 2. Press <Del> or <F2> during POST (Del on remote console) to start the BIOS setup utility Setup Basics The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard. Key Function Left/Right Arrow Keys Change from one menu to the next Up/Down Arrow Keys Move between selections Enter Open highlighted section PgUp/PgDn Keys Change pages +/- Change options ESC Exit 35

36 3.1.2 Getting Help Pressing [F1] will display a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press [ESC] or the [Enter] key again In Case of Problems If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS. The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen either by MiTAC or your system manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable Setup Variations Not all systems have the same BIOS setup layout or options. While the basic look and function of the BIOS setup remains more or less the same for most systems, the appearance of your Setup screen may differ from the charts shown in this section. Each system design and chipset combination requires a custom configuration. In addition, the final appearance of the Setup program depends on the system designer. Your system designer may decide that certain items should not be available for user configuration, and remove them from the BIOS setup program. NOTE: The following pages provide the details of BIOS menu. Please be noticed that the BIOS menu are continually changing due to the BIOS updating. The BIOS menu provided are the most updated ones when this manual is written. Please visit TYAN s website at for the information of BIOS updating. 36
